You probably already heard me (virtually) talking about ECHO LINES. These are similar to auras, but not quite. Echo Lines go around a shape only partially, reducing or enlarging while forming a sort of 3-dimensional model.

Last week our focus tangle for the Shading Zentangle® Facebook group was Sindoo, a tangle deconstructed by Sharon Robinson here. Although I'm not really much into grid patterns, I really liked this one, and combined it with ANOTHER one of my favorite grid patterns, Hypnotic.

Ever since I knew that Zentangle.com was selling gray Koi Brush Markers to CZTs as an alternative to the gray Fabrico Markers, I knew I had to try that brand. They wouldn't have started carrying it if they weren't worth it!

Here's a new tangle I've been playing with for a little while in private for the last month in my sketchbook, and which made an appearance early October here while I was exploring contour hatching with Joki and Narwal.

Waybop is the name of one of the newest tangles released last week by Zentangle, Inc, during ZenAgain. Although I was not able to attend the seminar, I did get the step-out via Zentangle's special newsletter for CZTs.

My lovely family is visiting from Brazil, so I have not had time to create much art -- too much going on!

I've been so surrounded with so much love and fun, I wrote a quick little reminder to of how important it is to always focus and pay attention to those who are willingly showering us with love. They deserve it!

This week I had a really fun and exciting time, despite of all the turmoil going on in the U.S. I held my first LIVE online Zentangle class! It was sort of a test-drive to see how interactive online teaching can be.
